As a "general" kind of point, after using both *BSD or Linux for a few weeks, the BSD version generally feels better engineered.

The command line utilities can be markedly different from the Linux version if that's what you're used to, but it's something that can be adapted to.

This is a "general feeling" kind of thing though. It seems to be a common sentiment, but may not apply to everyone. YMMV etc. ;)

Or Noobuntu/Debian for a lot more support on average.

My guess would be avoiding the scourge of systemd.
